'King River Estate nestles in a picturesque little corner of the King Valley with forest at the back door and stands of mature gums opposite. Rustic, corrugated-iron winery buildings bring to mind the old tobacco kilns that once dotted the region, and the property is managed along biodynamic lines with very traditional winemaking. It's an understated place, but the range of wines speaks eloquently via excellent whites and reds, especially the estate's flagship, elegantly styled Merlot.' Ralph Kyte-Powell

King River Estate was established in 1990 when Colin Knaggs and his son Trevor planted their first five acres of Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay.

These days, Trevor is cropping 56 acres and making his own wine including Sauvignon Blanc, Vermentino and Barbera to name a few.

Trevor prides himself on the continued and increasing quality of his wines which he attributes firstly to the discontinuation of using any type of pesticides or chemicals on the vines, using wild yeast in the fermentation process and in the last few years introducing the use of biodynamic practices.

The winery, cellar door and our fully self contained guesthouse (which sleeps nine) is located directly across the road from the beautiful crystal clear flowing water of the King River where you can catch a trout or cod when in season.

We look forward to your visit at King River Estate.
